¿Irán: Ahmadinejad Vs Jamenei - el principio del fin?

Iran not only threatens the peace of the Middle East, but now the Iranian terrorist regime is building bases of rocket launch in America of the South — specifically, Venezuela. The goal of the President Iranian Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Ali Khamenei Supreme Leader is carried their form of Islam around the world--by force. Both believe that they are in direct communication with the Mahdi, the twelfth Imam (Muslim Messiah) who has "revealed" to them living in the end times.

According to Hadith, Islamic written, the twelfth Imam will be introduced to the world through global chaos, which is one of the main reasons why the Iranian regime is racing toward nuclear capability. In addition, led by Mahdi Ahmadinejad and Khamenei that Israel should be deleted prior to its introduction, which seems to be another "necessity" of nuclear weapons.

Another "necessary" step for the introduction of the Mahdi includes the predominance of the East by Iran. Thus, once Iran conquers the region, removes the Israel and create global chaos through the launch of nuclear weapons, the twelfth Imam will supposedly be step on the world stage and initiate Islamic, Sharia.

As Israeli leaders understand the objective of the Iranian regime, have announced that you could not be allowed to Iran achieve nuclear capability. Unfortunately, it does not seem that the other power in addition to Israel, what could potentially stop the nukes, United States, Iran rush will make a serious attempt to intervene, as the White House has issued statements indicating that it has accepted a nuclear Iran.

This means that Israel can potentially only stop the Iranian regime. Given that some nuclear experts have indicated that they believe that Iran will achieve nuclear capability by the end of 2011, look to Israel for launching a military attack by the end of this year.

However, Iran currently seems to be a divided House. For example, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad fired three Ministers from the Cabinet in a game of power for control of Iran. The move comes as part of a power struggle important between Iranian President and the country's Parliament. Ironically, all three Ministers are loyal to Ahmadinejad.

Ahmadinejad has already weakened its position significantly through the development of a conflict with the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei. This perceived weakness is leading to more challenges to the authority of Ahmadinejad from internal sources, the Parliament included. In fact, Ahmadinejad's support base is bad scratch. In addition, critics are now emboldened against Ahmadinejad as a result of a confrontation with the Supreme Leader humility.

It seems that the crack in the Iranian regime is to extend a crack that began with opposition to the illegal election of Ahmadinejad to the Office of the President more than a year and a half ago. This can be important, as it could eventually lead to the fall of the regime. If, for example, Israel attack Iran, the growing Iranian opposition movement can use the resulting chaos to overthrow the regime.

Because Iran is championing of terrorism in the Middle East, Iranian regime change would dramatically affect the region. The upending of Ahmadinejad's reign hurt terrorist organizations, like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Syrian regime (if still standing, by then). In addition, the Elimination of the terrorist regime to encourage dissidents who yearn for freedom in the Middle East.

This would then provide a conducive atmosphere for the final performance of the times. For example, the Bible predicts that a Treaty of seven years between Israel and ten leaders of other Nations will be confirmed. (The Palestinians will not be between the co-signers of the Treaty and the United States, which is absent from biblical prophecy, will not be in the mix, or.) Currently, Iran stop any progress towards a Middle East Treaty with Israel through its support to terrorist Hamas (representing the Palestinians of Gaza), who recently signed an agreement of unity with Fatah (Palestinian in the West Bank) - and its pressure on the Palestinian Authority. So, with the Ahmadinejad regime in place, it seems that there will be no treaty; with the last regime, the way opens to the Treaty that will occur.

In addition, the Bible also predicts that, in connection with the Treaty of end times, leaders of the world believe that they have achieved "peace and security". But they aren't remotely possible with a support system to terrorists that is racing towards the nuclear capability of Ahmadinejad Khamenei "peace and security". However, with the last Government, "peace and security", then appear to be a realistic possibility - at least in appearance, for the region and the world.

As the gap in the Iranian regime, with the "help" of Israel, leading towards the eventual fulfillment of the prophecy of the end of time, we could see God in the work of preparation for prophetic fulfillment. That in itself it would indicate that we are living in exciting days!

The Beginning of Islam and Moderate Muslims

I am watching the current dialogue with Muslims and the Muslim world with hopeful anticipation along with most people in the world. The religion of Islam continues to be one of the most misunderstood faiths in the world due to the misrepresentation by the adversaries of Islam and often by the very followers themselves. The religion of Islam and Muslims have been under a microscope since the horrible incident of September 11th. I have been told personally by a few that I have made them uncomfortable, because of my Islamic affiliation. Pressure internally and externally are now causing the Muslim world and Muslims in general to reexamine the way we have practiced our faith.

I have noticed that during this recent dialogue with Muslims there are still some misconceptions regarding Islam and Muslims. I believe these are innocent misunderstanding, but they feed into a larger stereotypes of Muslims.

One of the most common misunderstandings concern the actual origin of Islam and Muslims. President Obama recently said in his speech to the Muslim world via Egypt that, "He wanted to return to where Islam began." Some may say what is wrong with his statement and why are you making such a big fuss over nothing. I do not personally believe that he meant anything by it, but this is not the Muslim position regarding our origin in the world. First not all Muslims are Arabs, but some Muslims, around 18%, happen to be Arabs and live in the Middle Eastern region. The rest of the Muslim family live in Indonesia, Africa, Europe, America, China and all in between making up the estimated 1.5 million Muslims world wide.

Secondly, Muslims nor the Qur'an teach that Islam had it's origin 1400+ years ago or in the geographical area of Arabia. Islam as we are taught is a principle of submission to the will of the Creator of the heavens and the Earth. It is an eternal principle that is seen in nature, the universe and humanity. It is for this reason that we believe all the prophets taught the same way of life-submission to the will of God.

The world has taken it for granted that Islam is of Arab origin despite them only representing around 18% of the whole. Islam is seen in the sun obeying the will of the Creator and giving light. Islam is seen in the planets floating in their orbit in an orderly fashion. Islam is seen in the Bee being a Bee. Islam is seen in the bear being a bear. The human being was created with the nature of Islam and to reach greatness by bowing to the will of the Almighty God Creator ALLAH. This is verified in the Holy Qur'an Chapter 30:30. So, it is for the aforementioned reasons that we do not say Islam has an origin other than God himself.

My second reason for writing this post is to rhetorically ask the question what is an moderate Muslim and why does Islam have to be moderated? These statements are made implying that Islam and/or the Holy Qur'an are some inheritantly wicked, hostile or backwards system. So, it is up to others outside to show Muslims the correct civilization. It is clear to everyone that the practices of Muslims, particularly in the Mid East need reform. This I will announce from the mountain tops without shame.

The Muslim world and Muslims in general have deviated from the path as foretold by Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him). So, the Muslims need to be reformed, but it is not for their adversaries to dictate to them. Just as Christianity went through a dark age and has now come of age so must Islam come through it's own cleansing process. Martin Luther and John Calvin both disagreed with how Catholicism(Christianity) was being practiced from the leaders to the followers. Therefore they protested thus creating the protestant movement in Christianity. I believe the same is in store for Islam. Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) taught is that innovation would enter the religion of Islam. The true principles and practice of the Holy Qur'an, without the interpretations by the scholars, would offer light to all of humanity.

This is an interesting time for the Muslims in the entire world. This dialogue amongst Muslims will lead to much good-self examination, self analysis and then self correction. Prophet Muhammad said that the sun would rise from the West. This means that as the sun represents light to the Earth, the truth of Islam will shine from the West to the East. Muslims in the East will have to start showing more respect to the Muslim communities that are being developed in America that could be an example to them to solve their problems.
